I found a great series of videos that explain some grammar rules.  I love it!  If you’ve ever been confused about what it is an adverb does or how and when you are using them (because you do even if you don’t know it) This is the video for you.  For that matter it is a great little tool to refresh your child’s understanding during the summer or to help them with adverbs during the school year.

What did you think of the video?  Did it bring back great memories?  Do you understand adverbs any better?

I found this fantastic little overview that describes Obama and McCain education policies.  I’ve been summing it up for you over the last several weeks but now that we are down to two candidates it’s time to start focusing on the role education will play in the 2008 presidential election.  CNN did a great nonpartisan [...]

I found a great site that is having an open house with free access to everything.  The bad news is that the open house ends today.  However it looks like they have a ton of free education content available all the time.
